If you can find a good low used D750, I would recommend that one. I recently bought a used one, the new ones are all sold out on the local Nikon website. I also have the D7100.
The low light capabilities of the D750 are amazing. The 24MP files are handleable and 'cleaner' than the D7100 produced. The menu is so similar to the D7100 I had little trouble adapting. I shoot mainly using auto ISO and manual, RAW, with sometimes just a little exposure compensation. The 3 lenses I already had were full frame but mine came with the 24-120 f4 lens as well which has become my walkaround kit now.
Am very pleased with my decision.
Have a look on YouTube for 'reviews of the D750 in 2024. Most are very positive and done by professional photographers. There's a series by a female called Victoria ?? which are pretty good.
Good luck.

I'll be 87 early next month and I've frequently eaten food that has dropped on floors, carpets, counters, chairs and my lap. No issues or diseases yet. Maybe I'm just very lucky?

Me too. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger?
Babies crawl around the floor, sit and often lick their fingers, yum. Most grow up to be healthy adults.
I did and I'm a healthy 76 yo. Apart from having got over prostate cancer and now waiting for 2 new hips.

Yep, same here in NZ although we call them bonbons. Now I have to wonder why they are called bonbons?
The hats aren't called crowns here, they are called, hats.
Inside they have the hats, a bit of paper with a joke on it, and small trinkets, whoever gets the largest bit of bonbon when its pulled, gets the stuff inside. The more expensive the pack of bonbons, the more expensive the stuff inside.

I wish people here wouldn't use the term 'reflections' without qualifying it. No filter removes all so called reflections (although someone here claimed they did). To be precise, a CPL filter, and to a lesser extent, an LPL, removes 'glare'.
Glare, caused by a light source, being reflected light.
They will achieve this with the glare on just about anything, but especially water, foliage etc. Not so much on shiny steel, mirrors etc.

I just watched this video, and I agree he did a good job covering his use of a CPL filter. I may subscribe, or simply watch it again: thanks for sharing the link.


You're welcome. I wonder if the original poster has watched it. A quick flick thru all the replies may have put him off for ever as he doesn't seem to have been back.
Some really 'interesting advice' tho

You can use the polarizer to emphasize the reflections too.

I have a new Zfc with a 24-200 full frame zoom. I have been keeping the polarizing filter on, however I wonder if there are times when it is better to not utilizie the polarizer. Pardon if this is a basic question; I am a serious amateur and still learning about mirrorless. My main topics are dinner parties, sunsets, and landscapes. Thanks.


In my opinion you should leave the CPL off unless you specifically have a reason for it. Youve got a great camera and a pretty good lens so I wouldn't add any more glass to the combo unless it was necessary for a particular reason. Dinner parties it is more hassle than its worth and not necessary. Sunsets you will be near to shooting at the sun so a CPL isn't going to have much affect, leave it off. Landscapes it a genre where it can give you a number of reasons to use it.
Rather than going into the effects and reasons for use here, I suggest you do a google search 'how to use a CPL filter' and you will get a lot of stuff to study and said much better than I could phrase. Also a search on YouTube with just CPL filter, will give you some very helpful results.
I subscribe to this guys channel. He's a so called 'pro' landscape photographer and I think gives excellent advice in an easy way to follow. Here's one on what he thinks of a CPL filter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E1nwQgmIAk

Enjoy the journey

Progress? The future is nearly here. Sad but exciting.

First no app needed for the Android. Second with the app can you transfer a file from a PC or Mac to the Iphone without using internet? I mean from the PC or Mac to the Iphone. Not from the Iphone to the Mac or PC. The Itune can do a backup and restore but then the files must be orignated from the phone.


Don't know, don't really care. Can't be bothered to check just to make a point.
It's become sort of a silly conversation.

Email, Icloud, Itune all of those work but I don't want to use the internet just to transfer files from 2 devices a foot apart.


You don’t have to.. Same as an android, you need an app.
iTunes is an apple iPhone/ipad app.
Quick and easy also gives you a backup of your phone in case of loss and you can sync ipad and iPhone data etc if you want.

1 photo cropped to fit the phone screen isn't much of a problem. 100 of photos would be a problem. But of course you can use Icloud but any way I do not like my files to go thru the internet. It's just the Apple way and many would consider it a plus. Not me.


Why would you try and use Icloud. Dont see how that would work??

I know the Iphone 12 I had did have the port. The Iphone 15 does have a port but I am not sure it's thunderbolt or USB C. Yes you can plug a cable into it. But all the Iphone only allow 1 way transfer that is out of the phone but not into the phone via cable.


I've been using an iphone 8 for years and can download stuff from my Windows 10 computer to the phone quite easily using itunes. Including any pictures in the Pictures file on the computer.
Has that been discontinued in newer iphones?

Was unsure which board I should post so here we are.

When you’re an athlete, especially in an individual/non-team sport, solitude is quite normal.
This to me brings that feeling to life.
Pre-match focus, drowning out the hustle and bustle around, everything fades to a blurry black and white off in the background somewhere.

(As with any of my images, critique and comments are always welcome)


Well done. Doesn't need any explanation as it tells the story nicely I think.

After observing a quite embarrassing exchange with a brand new member who dared to pist some photographs in an introductory post here yesterday, I went on a search to find the actual posted written rules forbidding photographs in this forum. I looked in all obvious spots for a specific ruling. I intentionally omitted looking anywhere that required any level of mind reading or ExtraSensory Perception. I found nothing. Nada. Zilch.

In fact, in the rules for this section, the very first specific instruction I found covered not only "How to post a picture," but also how to "Store Original," in order to post it with higher resolution.

My intent here is not to pick a fight. I'm sure this post is well along a path of being moved. But if this forum is to survive, it is time to start focusing on what matters. Photograps are generally not evil on a photography forum.

Here's another worry as a result of 'using' AI, one that perhaps outweighs the threats to stuff like how it will affect photography and the like. An excellent speaker like most who do TED talks.
